Mayer Etkin under the guise of ShangYe Capital approached me to buy a home we were selling in Seattle WA

He offered to pay full price and agreed to pay 5000 per month rent until closing. He wanted to use a property he said

he owned in Los Angelas county as the down payment. The only catch is that I would have to buy the property down there so he could close on the house up in Seattle. After viewing the property in LA I agreed to buy it for the agreed upon price. The real owner signed off on all the title and they got paid.

Now I expected a closing but Mayer never closed on the house and I had to battle him over an eviction and argue multiple times about his scam operation he runs on people. He is a liar a thief and acrook on his good days. The rest of the time he is a slimeball creep looking for his next victim.

He owes us over $260,000.00 and has agreed to pay in writing but then a few days ago he sent an email stating how he wouldn't pay us a dime for all the money he owes us.

So we have sent in our complaints to the DFI and we know he works over state lines and internationally so the FBI has been notified. Is there anyone else out there that wants to jpin the prosecution suit against this Mayer Etkin of ShangYe Capital fraudsters

Why the poster of this complaint has absolutely zero credibility!

AUTHOR: Mayer - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, April 08, 2018

In a ludicrous attempt to create a false claim, he picks out a company and creates a complaint against that company and then includes my name for the sole purpose of defaming my character. A blatant abuse of the internet and this forum.

I personally tracked down the person named in the complaint and was informed that the person named in the complaint never heard of the person complaining. I apologized for having disturbed his evening and thanked him for the courtesy of his time.

Once again, I will be informing the legal department of this site as to its abuse of this forum contrary to its rules and regulations.

The proper way to deal with the complete distortion of facts.

AUTHOR: Mayer - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, April 08, 2018

The email that is referred to was not ten pages, it was 1,509 words and contrary to the distortion of facts posted by the person who complained, was and remains entirely truthful. If the email were ten pages, it would be in the range of 150 words per page and not in the range of 500 words per page. As to how many pages, that depends on the font size.

No matter how hard someone tries to distort the facts, there is always the context of the facts that cannot be ignored. An example, the poster of the complaint falsely claimed the transaction was a sale and not a bridge loan, and now once again he confirms and acknowledges there was a loan and now claims there is a foreclosure when he had said there was a sale. You can’t have both a foreclosure and a sale to prevent a foreclosure. So obviously once again he proves that he is a liar and has no credibility.

Neither the internet nor this or any other forum on the internet is a place to debate either the issues relating to the facts or their context and is a blatant example of the abuse of the internet by an imbecile who has proven himself to be a very sick individual.

It’s one thing to have a dispute in a real estate deal. There has never been in all of history a real estate deal that was never without a dispute. They are unfortunately all too common for whatever the reason. That’s one reason why there are errors and omissions insurance as well as numerous indemnification clauses, etc.

The poster of this complaint was afraid to go to mediation to resolve the dispute because he knows that his intent and purpose for entering into the transaction in the first place was nefarious. He screwed himself and the parties to whom he had a fiduciary responsibility to. That’s the price he has to pay for stealing $750,000.00 in equity in the 23 lots.

The poster was properly thanked in the email and complemented as noted in the email for being the first person in almost 50 years of successfully doing business in real estate, business and investments to reinvent a transaction for the purpose that it was never intended to be and unfortunately which evolved into a civil dispute.

To resolve a dispute, you have to understand the history of the dispute. The proper place for that understanding is in a quiet private place and certainly not on the internet or in a forum on the internet. There were over 500 emails and substantial supporting documentation that paints the total and real picture of what did and what did not happen as well as to why.

You cannot try to reinvent a deal which is contrary to the facts of the basis and purpose of the deal. To attempt to do so is why the poster of this original complaint has to resort to false accusations, distortions of facts and blatant lies.

In contrast to the poster of this complaint’s continued false accusations, distortions of facts, blatant lies and intentional defamation of my character with malice, he should be thanking me for not being sued, having to defend against that lawsuit, and risking a judgement that would surely be obtained where all of his assets would be subject to seizure.

My partner in the 23 lots and I decided we have better things to do and have better uses of our resources to accomplish something positive than spending probably 2 years in court and in the range of $100,000.00 to pursue legal action against the poster of this complaint.

Our decision came down to a time value of money calculation as well as an opportunity cost. It didn’t make any sense to us to throw good money after bad to regain the $750,000.00 in equity that the poster of the complaint stole which confirmed his nefarious intent.

It’s a shame it happened. It could have been prevented and it was my mistake that it did. I should never have allowed him to be put on the title. I apologized to my partner for that mistake. My partner in the 23 lots accepted that apology and we have both moved on and learned from that mistake.

There is no prosecution of me in any jurisdiction anywhere in the world by any agency for any reason. Nor, is there any ongoing investigation of any matter in any jurisdiction anywhere for any reason as there is no cause for an investigation.

What there is in terms of potential prosecution is a complaint that was filed by me with the Seattle, Washington Police Department against the person that posted this complaint about making as well as aiding and abetting personal threats against me by email and by phone. That is a fact that can be verified by the incident number 18-53457 filed on Monday, February 12th, 2018.

What the poster of this total distortion of the facts and the issues relating to the facts fails to recognize is that he is digging himself a hole that he will never be able to come out of by his defamation of my character.

Once again by posting this complaint, the poster doesn't realize that he is doing me a great favor by providing me with additional evidence in support of my tort complaint against the State of Washington. That was one of the reasons for thanking him in the email the text of which was stated in the rebuttal.

It’s ludicrous for him to claim that he is an “investor”, falsely claim he is a victim, and feign ignorance when he had every opportunity to ask questions and engage in his due diligence which he did.

Inclusive in his due diligence was going over every issue in the communication from the State of Washington which he now falsely claims was the 3rd one notwithstanding the fact that the communication to which he refers to revolves around timing and purpose of disclosure pertaining to the issuance of “a” security in the State of Washington and  has nothing to do with any of the issues relating to the dispute.

Finally, the poster of this complaint has been reported to the legal department of this website for violation of its terms and conditions. Hopefully, the website will enforce its rules and regulations relating to the terms and use of posting so that this will be the last time, that time has to be wasted to rebut the total distortion of facts and their context.

This arrogant scam artist thanks his victims after ripping them off

AUTHOR: Shawn - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, April 05, 2018

This arrogant criminal took money from an innocent investor and then laughed in his face and peed on his foot by telling him he was never going to pay him back. This nasty piece of a scammer slimeball stole his own mothers identity and has been convicted of identity theft. This perverted criminal has lied and manipulated old people out of their money and their property. There is no lower form of humanity than that.

Then after ripping you off he writes a 10 page thank you letter for letting him rip you off and laughing in your face. He tries to rub salt in the wounds and thinks he is emboldened that no one will ever be able to stop him. After all , he has had a cease and desist order from the washington state DFI 3 times and he still continues to operate illegally under the name of a company that does't exist.

As for stealing a property from him. That a*****e was supposed to make the payments and pay the land off. He did niether and it went into foreclosure in the company name. That son of a b***h can't close on flypaper. He is the horror story because he promises the world but doesn't have two nickels to rub together. He has been reported to the DFI and the FBI since he operates over state lines and he also operates his securities fraud operations overseas. He will soon be turned over to the prosecuting attorney for prosecution. I have the DFI so fired up to nail his a*s. So , who ya gonna believe, a convicted criminal or a victim of his scam. He conned me into signing for the land and left me high and dry and thinks I should be thanking him. He will not stop until he is prosecuted.

Just read the arrogance in his rebuttal. He owes me over 200 k and my buddy over 50 grand and he laughs at us thanking us for the opportunity to steal from us and walk away with no obligation. We lost a lot of money. He lost none. He never closed on one single monetary agreement we have had. Therefore it is my mission to see him incarcerated like a little b***h that he is so he doesn't do this to any more innocent victims.

A Complete distortion of fact and false accusations.

AUTHOR: Mayer - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, April 05, 2018

The report to which this rebuttal is posted is a complete distortion of the facts pertaining to the transaction as well as a defamation of my character. 

The person who filed the report neglects to mention the fact that it was he who ripped off the $750,000.00 equity in the 23 lots.

The only “truth” in the report is the fact that I did send an email on February 23rd, 2018 where other than the “redactions” noted herein is an accurate copy of the text of that email.

(Redacted),

If you will recall, I had previously sent you an email with a quote from a book, “It’s all a gift”.

Accordingly, I would like to thank you for the gifts that you have given me.

1.   The $20.00 in cash that was allocated for the legal consideration for the agreement that we entered into in April of 2017; yes, that agreement, the one that you disavow and now say that there was no agreement and we have no deal as there was no legal consideration.                                                                         

2.   I thank you for all of the time that I was able to stay in your house in (redacted). Since as you now falsely claim (among other false claims) that there was no agreement between us and that we have no deal.                                                                                               

From that perspective, as was stated in the agreement between us which we negotiated in good faith and duly signed; as the house was specifically referenced in that agreement as “a mutual inducement”, I have no obligation to you to pay you any money for the time I was there.         

That means that you are giving up any claim to what you refer to as “back rents” as you can no longer deliver the title to the house as you elected to sell it to someone else as was your right to do so under the terms of the agreement that we signed and where there was legal consideration tendered, received and acknowledged.

Now, I know you will claim that there was a real estate purchase and sale agreement together with a rental agreement pertaining to the house; however, since both transactions were tied specifically to the agreement that you disavow, you can’t have it both ways.

Either there was, is and still remains in effect a legally binding agreement that was partially performed under by both you and me or there isn’t.

I am taking the position that there is, in fact, a legally binding agreement between us where partial performance under that agreement has been performed and therefore in accordance with the agreement that we negotiated in good faith and partially performed under, that agreement takes precedence over the purchase and sale agreement on the house together with the rental agreement.                                                                               

3.   In accordance with item # 3, as I have previously stated to you, I know how to do legal research and do it very well. As we are dealing with a dispute that is California Based as the 23 lots are in California, you may want to have (redacted) look up the case law regarding the principle of Equitable Doctrine.

In case you are unfamiliar with the concept, …” judicial estoppel is an equitable doctrine that precludes a party from asserting one position in a court proceeding and later seeking an advantage by taking a clearly inconsistent position.”

If this dispute of ours were ever to go to court, you will lose for many reasons. You will be required by the court to reconvey the deed to the 23 lots free and clear of any and all liens and claims as under California Law, the bridge loan which you claim was a sale can be voided.

4.   Thank you for your time and your assistance in my move from the house and for help in loading some of the books, etc. and for the ride to the car rental place.                                                                              

5.   Thank you for the gift of the cash from the bridge loan that was received even though you now falsely claim that there was no bridge loan, therefore by your false claim there is no obligation by me to pay you a commission for the money from the bridge loan that was received, since according to you the loan never happened.                                                                                                 

6.   Thank you for the $ 12,500.00 from the $25,000.00 that was received through you and that came from the money (redacted) loaned to you in anticipation of doubling his money in a short period of time.                                          

7.   Thank you for your statement at that time that you will be guaranteeing the money that is owed to (redacted). I am sure (redacted) will be happy to receive the $ 50,000.00 from you as you received $12,500.00 which you say was allocated to making payments on the bridge loan that you falsely claim was a sale.                                                              

8.   Thank you for the $180,000.00 in cash that I will now be able to redirect to other projects because you don’t want to accept it because you falsely claim there is no deal and the agreement that you signed was crap.          

9.   Thank you for the opportunity to redirect the cash that was allocated to paying off the non-existent bridge loan that you now falsely claim that there never was a bridge loan, it was as you falsely claim a sale.        

10.                Although it may seem bizarre to thank you for calling (redacted) at 7:40 in the morning, waking him up in his hospital bed, calling him a criminal (which he is not) and told him that you hope he dies.                                                        

11.                Thank you for your two statements that you made to (redacted), the first falsely claiming that I stole the lots from Sid and the second that you were going to steal the lots from me.                                       

12.                Thank you for showing through your emails, the words you choose to express yourself, the false claims, the false allegations etc. that your true intent relating to the 23 lots was nefarious in nature.               

13.                Thank you for not accepting the severance agreement that was proposed which would have cleaned up the technical imperfections that are present in the agreement that we signed which as you refer to it was “crap”, and by so doing once again preventing a resolution of our dispute which would have resulted in everyone getting paid.   

You will have to live with the fact that for the third time you violated your fiduciary responsibility to your Brother (redacted), to your corporation, (redacted) and to (redacted). I hope for your sake they never find out that they along with you could have had their money as early as last summer.                         

14.                Thank you for confirming your nefarious intent to “steal the lots” by not doing what needed to be done to unwind our agreement and implement a resolution to our dispute enabling the deed to the 23 lots to be re-conveyed.

15.                Thank you once again for your emails, which by the words you choose for providing me with prima facie evidence that I can use in my tort claim against the State of Washington.                                                     

16.                Since you have consistently stated that you know how to get transactions done, I want to congratulate you on being the only person in my almost 50 years of doing deals and working in the real estate and investment arena, that has ever attempted to reinvent a deal for something that it was never intended to be and as you stated to (redacted), “to steal the lots from him”  referring to me.                                                          

17.                On the same theme that you can get letters of credits or other financial transactions financed and that you have the required knowledge as to how they are put together; I will refresh your memory of some of the underlying issues related to financial transactions of those types by citing the book; The Use of derivatives in Tax Planning by Frank J. Fabiozi.

I am sure you have a copy, if you don’t, ordinarily I would offer to lend you my copy, but because of your threats against me, constant abuse, false claims, false allegations and the worst of all calling (redacted) in the hospital, waking him up at 7:40 in the morning, calling him a criminal and telling him that you hope he dies, this tortured relationship of ours ends with this email.

I never want to see you, hear from you or have any contact with you ever again.

Make sure you pay (redacted) the $50,000.00 he is owed. You should have no problem doing so making good on your guarantee to him as you said you have a sale on the 23 lots.

As 9redacted) and I are moving on from the infamous 23 lots and your nefarious actions, we will not be initiating any legal action or claims against you or (redacted).

However, if in any way, shape or form there is any sort of legal cause of action by anyone for any reason concerning this horror story, I will respond appropriately inclusive of counterclaims against you for actions that you have taken or are contemplating or will take.

Goodbye.
